| - I had a seriously good time here. I think this is my new favourite!!
From beginning to end our visit was fantastic. It all started with the gorgeous restaurant the second we walked in. The decor is VERY cozy bring dim-lit with gothic chandeliers but a chic modern classic look that is very Italian, down to the side plates and cutlery wrapped in linen on the table, and even the mismatched chairs which brought so much character. I loved the experience from the second we walked in. I'm glad we came on a Sunday night because it wasn't busy at all, we were promptly seated by the friendly staff at a lovely table and ordered some starters right away.
We got the mozzarella to try (obviously, it's an absolute staple) and it was DELICIOUS. I am not sure of the name but we got the one with honey glazed and truffle oil and I was absolutely in love. The bread was warm and freshly warmed with some olive oil and the cheese tasted amazing and was so fun to eat because of the do-it-yourself arrangement. I can't wait to try them all.
I then got the grilled cheese and prosciutto sandwich which came with 3 freshly grilled cheese sandwiches loaded with fig jam, prosciutto, and arugula and a Caesar salad on the side. I loved it! Very fresh and the flavours played very nicely with the fig jam.
I also ordered the side of fries that are tossed with rosemary, truffle oil, and garlic parmesan. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. It's only $3.97 and you're crazy if you don't try them.
My partner got a margherita pizza which was delicious and beautiful, and came with convenient snippers to slice it up quickly and easily. He also got a nice passionfruit and peach cocktail which had a great tart flavour to it.
We ended the night with some dark chocolate ice cream which was, as you can assume by now, lovely in it's simplicity.
The best part of the night was the bill total, I totally thought I'd be spending at least double what I did. Always a pleasant surprise :) and of course our server Sonya was also great.
I will definitely be running back soon!!
